The G# series has got to die.

If you're going for Mercedes/BMW-esque numbering schematics, at least add a few more characters.

As appealing as the car is, I will not spend my ownership period of said car explaining to every moron that comes along "no, it's not a G6 or G5, it's a G8" and actually expect them to get it

Even though I own a vehical that has a 3 letter name. I do wish they would go with names rather than letters and numbers. It seems to be kind of a fad.

Just a guess, but the "362" horsepower level might be down if the car is detuned for regular 87 unleaded. It might also have a somewhat more restrictive exhaust to keep it quieter.

I think the full 400 (or close to it) would be available on premium fuel.

Just a thought, but if Pontiac calls this car a G8, and if you drive it to the top of a mountain, would that make it . . . a G8 Summit? And would all the Socialists protest?

Actually, if you were to pronounce G8 like a vanity license plate, you get "gate."

Just think of the advertising opportunity when a frustrated Ford buyer is told!
